 Coats, hats and gloves were donated by St. John
United Church of Christ for children in need of warm outer clothing.
CAPCIL will accept canned good items during this event and
throughout the month of December to help support the Meals on Wheels
program. Shelf-stable soups, vegetables and fruit are always good
items to donate.
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America
for the 12th consecutive year to enable more seniors to live with
independence and dignity,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO,
Meals on Wheels America. “Since 2008, the Subaru Share the Love
Event has helped deliver more than 2.2 million meals and friendly
visits to vulnerable seniors nationwide. We’re enormously grateful
to Subaru and its retailers for their long-standing commitment to
Meals on Wheels and the millions of seniors who depend on it for
nourishment and companionship.”
Over the last 11 years, Subaru of America and its participating
retailers have donated more than $145 million to its charity
partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to
bring that total to over $170 million, proving there’s no limit to
the amount of love we can all share.
“The partnership with Subaru helps our Meals on Wheels program reach
seniors in our community that need a warm meal, friendly smile and
the feeling of being cared for,” said Becky Leamon, Director of the
CAPCIL Meals on Wheels program. “By donating a canned good item, you
can help us get shelf-stable food items to our seniors in case they
have an emergency arise or if we are unable to deliver due to
inclement weather.”
CAPCIL’s Senior Nutrition Program is proud to announce that it will
be participating in the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event as a member
of Meals on Wheels America – one of four national Share the Love
charitable partners supported through the campaign. From November
14, 2019, through January 2, 2020, Subaru of America will make a
donation to the charity of a customers choice at the end of each
deal for a new vehicle.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like CAPCIL will
receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state.
By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Subaru Share the
Love Event and selecting Meals on Wheels as your charity of choice, you can help
deliver nutritious meals and other important services to seniors right here in
Logan and Mason County.
